Chemical Structure

5-Formyl-6-methylpicolinonitrile CAS 1289121-77-2 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5-Formyl-6-methylpicolinonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 146.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

5-Formyl-6-methylpicolinonitrile (CAS 1289121-77-2), molecular formula C8H6N2O and molecular weight 146.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Formyl-6-methylpicolinonitrile meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
